binding to antigens on the pathogens.
The antibodies not only bind to antigens...but once bound with the antigens on the viruses they encounter. The viruses clump together and are destroyed by phagocytes.Thanks to...my BRILLIANT mind!! :PYOU ARE THE BEST!

∙ 14y agoWhen pathogen cross physical barrier and also escape from innate immuntiy then antibody are formed against them which recognize one or more structures present on antigen i.e. pathogen and these structures are called epitope now after recognizing antibody bind to those epitope and present those pathogen to phagocytic cell which engulf or phagocyte the pathogen and this phenomenon of presentation of antigen by antibody is called opsonisation

What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
white blood cells
What pathogens respond to antibodies?
Antibodies respond to pathogens.
What type of cells produce antibodies to destroy pathogens?
Phagocytes use phagocytosis, also Macrophages (or white blood cells) use phagocytosis to engulf and destroy pathogens.
Do vaccines destroy viruses only?
Vaccines do not destroy pathogens, they give the immune system antibodies so it can destroy a pathogen before it causes an infection. Vaccines do exist for some bacterial infections.
2 ways in which white blood cells destroy disease-causing micro organisms?
antibodies in the blood kill pathogens in the blood
What do white blood cells release to destroy pathogens?
Antibodies are released by B-lymphocytes (one of thekinds of white blood cells)
Do Antibodies prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.?
Yes. Antibodies do prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.
3 ways that antibodies help destroy pathogens?
The antigen itself cannot destroy the pathogen but here are three ways it helps out:1. Antibodies can clump antigens together in order to enhance phagocytosis2. Antibodies can activate the cytotoxic cell responses (a chemical that destroys antibody-bound antigen).3. Antibodies can activate B lymphocytes, which results in the production on plasma and memory cells.
How can pathogens attack the body?
Our antibodies fight off the pathogens.
Cells that produce antibodies that help destroy the pathogens are called?

The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
